Aston Villa

Former Aston Villa striker Darren Bent feels Steven Gerrard should be in the equation to succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager.

He also took England to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup. And Gerrard may need to prove his credentials with another English club before setting his sights on the national side. This week’s reverse was Villa’s sixth of the campaign while they have won just twice in the league. Gerrard cut his teeth with Rangers north of her border. He was appointed Villans chief in November last year, replacing Dean Smith at the helm. Things began well, with four victories from six top-flight games.

Gary Neville has criticised the owners of Aston Villa after they reportedly sacked Steven Gerrard immediately after their 3-0 loss to Fulham.

That was the one thing that was bad from Villa’s point of view.” The only thing you could do is crack a few beers open and get on it. No, he went back with his team and he went back with his staff. Doing it immediately after a game, where you know the manager has to travel back with his staff and his players. Gerrard could have easily got himself a driver, not got back with his team and not got back with his staff. Let’s be clear, as owners, we are all liable to criticism when we sack a manager and I have been criticised for that.

Danny Ings scored twice and Ollie Watkins ended his goal drought in spectacular fashion as Aston Villa went on a 4-0 rampage against Brentford.

Villa reached the 4-0 margin just before the hour. When not mocking their own manager at Craven Cottage, Villa fans’ songbook had included calls for Buendía and he justified his selection here. “Aaron, Aaron, give us a wave,” came the cry from the Holte End as the game petered out peacefully, Brentford’s insipid showing reflected in Bryan Mbeumo slotting wide of an open goal from six yards after Emiliano Martínez saved Mathias Jensen’s shot. There are days when it comes off and days when it doesn’t. Ollie Watkins crowned a brilliant team goal in the second half, after Leon Bailey had started a rout embellished by two goals from Danny Ings.

“This club is steeped in tradition and history and we just want this club moving.” I realise this is a great club in many ways, but I have said many times before I am pleased in Brentford and I have unfinished business to do,” he said. I know the players well and they played with energy and purpose like I asked them to. One thing is for sure I have a job I am very glad for. I love Brentford, that is what I am focusing on.” Villa are believed to be willing to pay the £27m release clause for Sporting’s Ruben Amorim, and could also sound out Thomas Tuchel, the former Chelsea manager.
